The Oil tycoon who hails from Vandeikya Local Government Area of the state and is said to be nursing 2023 Governorship ambition said, “what God started in 2015 is a journey towards excellence…, the basic foundation of morality and excellence is the fear of God and it is a journey that cannot be accomplished within four or eight years, it is a journey that will continue.

“God is calling on the people of Benue state to embark on a journey to excellence which just started in 2015 and whatever our brother, Ortom has done is a foundation, he has laid and we are going to build on it.

“We are approaching a transition and we are going to shoot our state to the heaven for excellence, the kind of infrastructure that people had never imagined that would be possible they will see it in our land”, Akaakar optimised.

He added that, ” we are going to turn around the economy and welcome all the development partners that are going to come. There is a new era of Agriculture, Science and Technology that we want to bring down South from Rivers State and other states there to collaborate as partners with us. We will export all the things that we want to export and we will make imports as well”.

The oil mogul was optimistic that if Benue economy is fixed through the planned journey to excellence, people of the state will no longer complain about non-payment of salaries and pensions.

He stressed the need to re-orientate the would-be leaders on integrity as they are going to be entrusted with resources.
